I have seen the Daily Beast (what an appropriate name)many times before Hoss.....it is a Conservative Jewish/Zionist Rag,......Renown for inaccurate,Zionist promoting Dross..........................Really Mate if this is the Best you can do,don't bother......your time,honestly would be better spend sticking your head up your ASS..........than dishing out this Zionista Propaganda.........You like many Synthetic Zio-Jews on this Board have yet again DISRESPECTED this Great Man,Shimon Peres...........Grab a glass of Mash Hossie,sit down,relax and spend some time reflecting on this Great Statesmans life,like I have friend.....steveBetter read this Steve. He was a true Zionist and an icon. What in hell are you smoking?And what your smallish mind forgets Roudy ......The Great Man Shimon Peres TURNED HIS BACK ON THE SETTLERS AND ZIONISTS......now you Rabid Zionists who Despised Mr Peres yet take him as one of your own(JOKE).....Shimon Peres wasn't just for his beloved Israel,(which you filth who abused the Great Man) but a World Statesman.............He was nothing like you ..........GO SUCK..steveI have to tell you it was a hilarious piece of comedy. On one hand he's upset why Palestinitians are called Nazis (which they are, IslamoNazis), then calls Shimon Peres a great man, then turns around and calls Phoenall a "FILTHY ZIONIST", forgetting that Shimon Peres one of the greatest Zionist founders of the state of Israel.Bravo! Well said.
Well said?
I was wondering what kind of semi literate slug had authored such lame silliness. All the capital letters and periods. Silliness like "YOU HAVE DISHONOURED THE Great Mans name,with your prose........" and "You think you are hitting me hard!!!!! You stupid little Moron,couldn't punch the Skin off a Rice Pudding........"
What kind of idiot posts such blather (and what kind of moron applauds it)? Then I noticed the Screen Names involved. TheLick has spent his entire life riding that which you evidently drive:
His psychologist must have his / her hands full.
Shimon Peres: The Socialist Shepherd Who Became a Zionist Icon
The Israeli leader, who died this week, came to symbolize the growth and power of Zionism, which he nurtured in the fields of the Middle East.

While every obituary marking Shimon Peres’s death mentioned his age, 93, the more significant number may be 68, the age of Israel, the country he helped establish. Peres was the last of the founders. As the protégé of Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, Peres helped conquer the southern port of Eilat, establish the Israeli navy, supply the Israeli air force, and launch the Israeli arms industry, all before his 30th birthday. Even more than any particular achievement, this Polish-born shepherd, who lost relatives in the Holocaust and wooed his wife, Sonia, by reading her excerpts from Karl Marx’s Das Kapital, while sitting in a kibbutz he started, came to personify the “New Jew” that Zionism’s founders first envisioned. He became Israel’s “Mr. Security.” He went on to become the Nobel Prize-winning, peace-seeking president of Israel. In so doing, Peres embodied the flourishing of the state from a fragile, embattled Jewish “Hail Mary pass” to an established democratic home to millions. He typified the generation of larger than life pioneers who are now gone.
When Szymon Perski was born in Wiszniew, Poland—today Vishnyeva, Belarus—on Aug. 2, 1923, a Jewish State was an impossible ancient dream, not today’s robust reality. Although the Jews working the land in Palestine were starting to change their reputations, the image of the Jew was as a passive, bookish, ultra-religious victim, the wandering Jew, the beaten-up Jew, the Yiddish writer Shalom Aleichem’s wise but weary Tevye. David Ben-Gurion would explain that while most revolutions rejected the dominating regime or colonial power, the Zionist revolution had a double challenge. In addition to freeing Palestine from the British empire’s grip, Zionists had to liberate themselves from that debilitating self-image and create a new Jew. These pioneers’ aggressive secularism, idealistic socialism, and gruff physicality reflected their personal revolutions as the first steps toward national salvation.

Better than your cut and pastes from the white supremacist/islamonazi/Jew hate sites that are all based on lies and blood libels. get over the fact6 that Peres was a ZIONIST and embrace Zionism for what it is, not what the above sites tell you to see. If anyone is synthetic it is you the synthetic waste of space moron who spreads lies and then deflects when he is proven wrong
